The Arizona Chapter of American Atheists has formed a committee to try to
have the plaque of the ten commandments removed from Wesley Bolin Plaza.
We have the express support and cooperation of the Arizona Secular 
Humaists(ASH), Humanist Community of Tucson, and Humanist Society Of 
Greater Phoenix (HSGP) in this endeavor.

A Petition to the Governor requesting removal of this plaque is enclosed
herewith and we ask everyone to sign it and send it directly to the
Governor. Please feel free to copy it and circulate it among any friends
who might be willing to sign. We need as many signed Petitions sent to
the Governor as possible.

On Saturday, April 17th and on Tuesday April 20th from 11:00 AM to 1:00
PM there will be a protest demonstrations at the site, Wesley Bolin
Plaza, Adams Street at 17th Avenue. We hope to have a radio talk show
host interview us and we ask for your participation in these
demonstrations. If you have ideas for the slogans to be used on our
placards please send them to me.
We believe that we need three things to make this effort successful. A
large number of Petitions signatures sent to the Governor, a substantial
turnout at the demonstrations and good media coverage. With your help we
will achieve our goal.

To Governor Jane Dee Hull,

       We, the undersigned citizens of Arizona, herewith request that the
Governor remove the plaque of the "Ten Commandments" from Wesley Bolin
Plaza because it is a violation of both the letter and the spirit of
Article 11, Section 12, of the Arizona State Constitution which reads in
part, "No public money or property shall be appropriated for or applied
to any religious worship, exercise, or instruction, or the support of any
religious establishment."

        It is also a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution.

        Wesley Bolin Plaza is public property, I own it along with my fellow
ciizens, and no one has a right to place their religious symbols on my
property. It is illegal. Please remove it.

Signed by:
